Emergency Medical Technician I Bridge (EMT-I Bridge)
This EMT-I Bridge course is designed for current ETTs to transition to Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). The State of Alaska provides reduced classroom hours and curriculum for students with a valid, current ETT certification. Scope of practice, responsibility, and on-scene leadership expand significantly at the EMT level. EMTs function as part of a comprehensive EMS response under medical oversight, performing basic interventions with equipment typically found on an ambulance.
Successful course completion makes students eligible to take the State of Alaska EMT certification exams.
Course Requirements
- Current, unexpired ETT certification
- Internet connection
- Required text (provided)
Attendance
Alaska sets minimum course objectives that must be completed prior to course completion. Each class day includes required content and psychomotor skills; there is no built-in time to make up missed sessions. Punctual attendance is expected. Any student who attends less than 90% of course hours will not be eligible for State testing. If you must miss class, contact your instructor as soon as possible to discuss options for meeting objectives.
Course Documentation
Students must provide all prerequisite documentation by the second class session. Ongoing course records (e.g., skills portfolio sheets) are retained by the student until completion, after which the instructor will upload them to the class file and to the State of Alaska as appropriate.
Student Conduct
Students must arrive for all classes and skills sessions free of drugs or alcohol. Anyone appearing under the influence or otherwise impaired will not be permitted to participate and may be immediately dismissed from the course at the instructor’s discretion.
Grading
State-level outcome is Pass/Fail. Formative assessments are provided to help you track progress; if you identify a weak area, please contact your instructor.
Course Completion Requirements
- Attend at least 90% of class hours
- Submit all prerequisite documentation
- Complete the EMT skills portfolio
- Pass the State written exam with a score of 70% or higher (up to two retests permitted)
- Complete the State application
